Co-hosts Canada continue to play away from home soil as they continue to pay the price for failing to top their group.

Morocco await them after coming through a group featuring Brazil, Scotland and Haiti in second place before staving off elimination at the last moment against the Netherlands in the Round of 32 and going on to win a dramatic penalty shootout to advance.
